When the Rev. Charles Deems, of
the Church of the Radeemer in New
York city, wanted money to pay of
a debt on the building, he called on
Commodore Vanderbilt.
"Are you going to preach what l
want to hear?" asked the old man,
sternly.
"I shall try to preach acceptably."
answered the clergyman, in an eyas-
i've manner.
But no sooner had he said the
words than all the manhood Within
him rose in revolt, and the spirit OF
John Knox seemed calling him to
account.
81 shall preach the Gospel as I be-
lieve and understand it, and if you
have any special sins / shall be most
likely to preach against Them"
"Hump!" said the Commodore,
and ended the interview.
The next day he sent Mr.. Deems a
check for $4,000 for not being afraid
to do his duty.

Jay Gould's Churchyard.

Jay Gould's project of establishing
a railroad town in the West reminds
the Philadelphia Record OF the story
of the summary manner in which he
wrought vengeance upon a commu-
'nity that had secured his displeas.
ure. When the great strike was on
one year ago on the Missouri Pacific
and other Western lines controlled
by Jay Gould the town of Sedalia,
Mo-, vas thriving place. 1t was
what is commonly known as rail-
road town. Car shops were located
there, and Sedalia bore about the
same relation to the Gould railroads
in Missouri that Altoona bears to the
Pennsylvania Railroad in this State.
During the strike the storekeepers
and traders of the town supported
the railroad employees and called
mass meetings in their aid. Travel
ers who now pass the place are told
that Jay Gould thought the SedaIia
people had gone further than the
occasion demanded. He became in
censed at their activity, and it is re-
ported that when the story of their
doings was laid before him he ex-
claimed: "Within year l will turn
that town into a churchyard. The
strike ended in failure. Jay Gould
ordered the removal of the car-shops
and Of all of his railroad pr9Sest.s.
Within month the town of Sedalia
began to show signs of decay. As
the trains roll by and passengers note
the absence of life, trainmen tell
them that the place is Jay Gould's
churchyard. The revenge of the
rgeta millionaire is complete.

A traveller once noticed that the
we'll in country farm-yard was en-
tirely without curb or other safe
guards, and as there were several
children playing around, he asked
the mother if she was not afraid some
of them would fall in. She cheerfully
replied, ooh, no, we never lost more
than two or three in that way" Do
not make big eyes at the old lady till
you have interviewed the old gentle
man. Uncle Sam, whose whiskey
wells are "everlastingly" open with
out curb or safeguard around them.

are discussed, the dowry haggled over,

No woman, not even the wife, takes

Is effected by proxy, delegated to an un-
Gle. or to an elder brother, often with a
full beard, who plays the role OF the
bride. The parents of the couple sign
the contract before the imam of their
quarter, in the presence of a few friends,
who act as witnesses. The nuptials are
then celebrated by the families with a
calmness and gravity that would be
as suitable for funeral as for we'd
